It seems that no one has mentioned the fact that Iraq, should they obtain any weapon of mass destruction, would not hesitate to use it.
Most of you will remember the Gulf War, and Iraq's willingness to launch several medium range missles into Saudi Arabia, and Isreal (spelling?). Almost all of which were shot down before the could reach they're target.
War is never a good thing, and it will be costly to both the American forces, as well as the people of Iraq. But sadly, this mad man, Saddam, most be removed from power before he can become a serious threat to the middle east.
It's not just about the oil, or the U.S. flexing it's muscles.
Just one persons thoughts.
